Mating C4 To 2.9
Easiest way to get a C4 for the 2.9 would be to
find a 2.8 from a mid to late 70's Mustang, as they did
use the C4, and I'm not certian, but the TC and flex plate
should bolt up, and have the right balance for the 2.9...

Yes it does bolt up. Use the 2.8 flex plate, flex plate spacer, and starter. "Junkyard Guy" is full of B.S. The C4/5 has succesfully been used behind many 2.9's and 4.0's. don't forget to hook up the kickdown, also.

I always thought the C5 was different than the C4? The C5 went onto be the A4LD and 5R55E which I have in my SOHC 4.0. Hmm...

i dont know about your tranny question but as far as you bolt pattern question, the 2.8 and 2.9 are the same block with same bolt patters, the only diff is the heads, and intake
